Although the flagellum of the antennae of mosquito-like insects is known to vibrate in response to sounds, descriptions of the cuticular parts that suspend it in the second antennal segment are somewhat contradictory and incomplete. The complex structures that attach the base of the flagellum to the pedicel and its sense cells in Aedes aegypti (L.) (Diptera: Culicidae) are described. They are consistent with the functions of suspending the flagellum firmly in the pedicel and of anchoring the sheathing rods of the acoustically sensitive scolopidia while their dendrites are stretched or bent by the movement of the prongs.

Central projections of neurons innervating sensory structures on the head of larval Manduca sexta were traced by using methods of anterograde cobalt-diffusion. Regions of the deutocerebrum and tritocerebrum in the brain receive input from the antenna, labrum, maxilla, labial palps, hypopharynx and other unidentified regions of the buccal cavity. Antennal, maxillary and labial inputs project to the larval antennal centre (LAC) of the deutocerebrum. Stemmatal neurons and a few antennal neurons project into the protocerebrum. The suboesophageal ganglion (SEG) receives input from mechanosensory neurons in all parts of the head and its sensory appendages. Some mechanosensory neurons project further to the first thoracic ganglion. In addition to receiving input from chemosensory neurons of the maxilla, the SEG may also receive chemosensory input from epipharyngeal sensilla of the labrum.
